Watch: Weatherman Fakes Battle With Wind During Florence

This is the bizarre moment a TV weatherman appeared to be caught faking his battle against gale-force winds during Storm Florence.

The Weather Channel’s Mike Seidel was seemingly battling to stay upright as he filmed a piece in North Carolina — only for two pedestrians to calmly stroll past in the background.

A spokesman for the Weather Channel said: “It’s important to note that the two individuals in the background are walking on concrete, and Mike Seidel is trying to maintain his footing on wet grass, after reporting on-air until 1 a.m. this morning and is undoubtedly exhausted.”
